Message from the Dean

Dear Visitors,

Welcome to the European Chapter website. It could be that you didn't know a European Chapter of the American Guild of Organists even exists, but it does! We were founded in 1979 and are proud to say that at present we have 132 members living in Germany, the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Lichtenstein, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Great Britain, Australia, Finland, Sweden, the Republic of Moldova and the American states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Michigan, Colorado, Montana, Arizona, Washington and California . Due to the fact that our members don't live in one city as in most other AGO chapters, our focus is a little different and our opportunities to meet are limited. But our annual 4 - 5 day Spring Meeting and organ

tour, held during the week after Easter, is eagerly awaited each year by many chapter members, continues to be an enormous success, and makes up for our not seeing each other more frequently. Perhaps you would like to consider becoming a member, dual-member or friend of the European Chapter? You would be welcome!
